BENEDICTs NOMINATION.
The Senate Committee Weighing
the Objections Against Him.

The Senate Committee Weighing
the Objections Against Him.
WASHINGTON, Jan. THE Senate
Committee on Printing, it is said, began
this morning the study OF certain prob
lens involved III the nomination of Mr..
Benedict to be Public Printer, and Mr..
Benedict was himself before the COM
mittee for examination.
No conclusion was reached aud an
other meeting is to be held during the
week. 1t is understood that there are
no formulated charges against the nomi-
nee, but there are people who claim that
he is not q practical printer or book
binder. and in these respects does not
meet the requirements of the law govern
lug the appointment to this office,
The committee finds itself called
upon not only to investigate
and de lermine questions Of fact but TO
interpret the law. 1t is argued on one
hand that to be a practical printer and
bookbinder one must have served an ap-
premiership at type-settlng and have
Tsgorked with his own hands at bo0kblnd-
ing.
On the other hand, 1t ia urged thai the
manager of an immense establishment
like the Government Printing Office may
be all the more efficient for not having
passed his life in wrestling with the min
utia or the mere mechanical features OF
the work in hand. The committee Will
give Mr.. Benedict ample opportunity to
reply to anything Whlch may DC sHlu
against him.

EQUAL JUSTICE.

Decisions in Gases Against Sleeping
and Parlor Car Companies.
Boston, Jan. THE Supreme Court
has decided case of great interest TO the
travelling public as settling the RESPONSE
bility Of sleeping car companies for losses
sustained by passengers. William Lewis
and William Wing, OF Taunton, while en-
route 10 san Francisco, were robbed in q
car OF the New York Sleeping Car
Company. The court holds that a
sleeping car company holds itself
out to protect passengers during
the night when they are powerees
to protect their property. When property
such as person may reasonably carry Is
stolen the company IS liable for it.
The same court found tor the defendant
ia the case of Mrs. Lillian II. Whitney
against the Eastern railroad. The lady,
while travelling in a Pullman parlor car,
left the car to get lunch at Portsmouth.
When she returned her satchel contain
ing 5000 mad been stolen. The court found
for the defendant on the ground OF con-
tributory negligence on the part OF the

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. There was a
large attendance of visitors at the capitol
to-day, although nothing particularly ex-
citing was expected. On Thursday the
Senate adopted a resolution to meet with
the House this morning to hear the Gov
ernor's message read, but when the Sem
ate assembled this action was reconsid-
cred, the protests OF the Republicans be-
Ing unavailing, and the message was
read in the Senate by the Clerk of that
body. The refusal to go into
joint session caused much COM
ment, and was accepted as meaning
that the Democrats will not consent to a
joint session for any purpose. This sur
mise was strengthened at the afternoon
session, when the Senate passed resolu-
tlon declaring there was no vacancy Ia
the office Of Lieutenant Governor, de-
clining TO go INTO joint session for the
purpose OF canvassing, and declaring the
result of the vote at the November cleo
tion and adJourning until Tuesday. The
day appointed for canvassing and an-
nouncing the vote for Lieutenant Gov
ernOr is Monday.
In the House to-day the Republican
majority, in retaliation for the extraOrdi-
nary rules adopted yesterday by the Sem
ate, adopted set Of regulations fully as
arbitrary as those OF the upper body. The
effect III either house will be hat a major
ity can summarily and quickly unseat
any member of the minority rightfully or
wrongiully. The Governors message,
owing to the refusal OF the Senate to par
ticipate in joint session, was laid on the
table without reading, ana the House ad-
jOurned until Monday. 1t is now under
stood that the Speaker Of the House will on
Monday declare and publish the result OF
the election of Lieutenant Governor, and
that when the Senate assemblies on Tues
day he will appear and assert his rights
as presiding officer of that body. His
claim will be denied, and what recourse
he Will take is as yet matter OF conleo-
ture. The air is full of surmises and ru-
mors, and quo warranto proceedings are
suggested and also the possibility OF two
legislatures.
